Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery including a pyridine-boron-based compound as an additive and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and particularly, to a non-aqueous electrolyte including at least two types of lithium salts and a pyridine-boron-based compound and a lithium secondary battery which has an enhanced effect of suppressing an increase in resistance and generation of gas after being stored at high temperature by including both the non-aqueous electrolyte and a negative electrode including lithium titanium oxide (LTO) as a negative electrode active material.

Claims (17)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising:

an organic solvent;

a first lithium salt;

LiBF 4 as a second lithium salt; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte additive selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Chemical Formulas 1a to 1h below,

wherein the first lithium salt is included at a concentration of 0.1 M to 2 M in the non-aqueous electrolyte,

wherein LiBF 4 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte,

wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte additive is included in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 8.5 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte:

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte additive is included in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 7.0 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte additive is included in an amount of 0.1 to 7.0 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

4. A lithium secondary battery comprising a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a separator interposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte,

wherein the negative electrode includes lithium titanium oxide (LTO) as a negative electrode active material, and

the non-aqueous electrolyte is the non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 .

5. The lithium secondary battery of claim 4 , wherein the LTO is at least one selected from the group consisting of Li 0.8 Ti 2.2 O 4 , Li 2.67 Ti 1.33 O 4 , Li 1.14 Ti 1.71 O 4 , Li 1.33 Ti 1.67 O 4 , Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , and LiTi 2 O 4 .

6. The lithium secondary battery of claim 5 , wherein the LTO is Li 1.33 Ti 1.67 O 4 .

7. The lithium secondary battery of claim 4 , wherein the positive electrode includes at least one positive electrode active material selected from the group consisting of a lithium-manganese-based oxide, a lithium-nickel-manganese-based oxide, a lithium-manganese-cobalt-based oxide, and a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-based oxide.

8. The lithium secondary battery of claim 7 , wherein the positive electrode active material is LiMnO 2 or LiMn 2 O 4 .
